After Donald Trump “paused” most of the stupid and destructive tariffs he had unilaterally imposed on dozens of nations all across the globe, the stock market had one of its largest one-day upturns in over a decade.
It would be unconscionable if any member of Congress used their position to benefit financially from Donald Trump’s tariff insanity — especially when millions and millions of everyday Americans are suffering the resulting financial chaos. Every senator and representative should immediately disclose any stock trades made between April 2 and April 9. State attorneys general should investigate any potential wrongdoing. And members of Congress should be banned from trading stock altogether.
